Best midfielder: Mohamed Salah vs Crystal Palace (A) - 6.7 predicted points
A tricky trip to Crystal Palace sees Mohamed Salah displaced as the best captain pick for Gameweek 6. There’s no denying his team are in excellent form, winning all of their opening five games, with a leading 11 goals scored in that time.
Salah’s individual performances have been equally consistent, with four goal involvements in five appearances: two goals and two assists. His underlying numbers are lower than expected, though, with seven shots and six chances created.
Crystal Palace are a tough opponent for Liverpool, as the only other team in the Premier League still unbeaten from their opening five fixtures. They’ve kept three clean sheets in five games, conceding just two goals.
Midfield gem: Phil Foden vs Burnley (H) - 8.0 predicted points
Consecutive starts for Manchester City’s Phil Foden see him get the nod as the midfield differential for this week. He sits fourth in the AI predictions for Gameweek 6, expected to score 8.0 points in the home game against Burnley, in just 3.3% of teams.
Now is the time to invest in Manchester City attackers, with Brentford and Everton also on the horizon. Foden comes in £6.3 million cheaper than Erling Haaland, making him a more viable route for some fantasy managers this week.
He scored the opening goal for his team in the Manchester derby, with four shots on goal and two key passes from 174 minutes played this season. Burnley have kept just one clean sheet this season, conceding eight goals.
Best forward: Erling Haaland vs Burnley (H) - 8.9 predicted points
Erling Haaland is the captain favourite for FPL Gameweek 6, knocking Salah off his perch and with a huge prediction of 8.9 points, many will be considering him as the first triple captain opportunity of the season for Burnley’s visit to the Etihad.
It’s difficult to ignore his six goals from the opening five Gameweeks, coupled with his sound underlying numbers, where he leads the way for shots on target (10) and big chances (10). It feels like he’s unstoppable at the moment.
When it comes to considering triple captaincy, the odds are stacked in his favour for high minutes. What's more, Pep Guardiola rested some of his star men in midweek for their League Cup third-round tie away at Huddersfield Town.
Forward gem: Evanilson vs Leeds United (A) - 4.8 predicted points
Bournemouth remain one of the key teams to target following their impressive start to the season, with three wins and one draw from their opening five games. They face promoted Leeds United in Gameweek 6.
While Antoine Semenyo is quickly becoming one of the most owned players in the game, in 47% of teams, his teammate Evanilson is a relative differential. He’s in 3.1% of sides and predicted to score 4.8 points in this fixture.
He's scored just one goal this season, but his underlying numbers are very promising, with 12 shots and seven chances created, suggesting he’s been unlucky not to deliver more attacking returns to date.
